[Dorothy’s Playlist] CryptoKitties and nTopaz – EdenChain

Today at Dorothy’s Playlist, we are introducing you to CryptoKitties and nTopaz. CryptoKitties is one of the more well-known dApps in the current market. Its concept reminds me somewhat of Tamagochi, which I used to play years ago: a platform for digital pets. Obviously, CryptoKitties has way more features than Tamagochi, yet there are similarities in the sense that both of them have become a classic in their respective arenas. nTopaz, is a place for you to turn your talents into artworks. The platform aims to build a platform that respects artists’ endeavors and rewards them fairly in a transparent system.

CryptoKitties

In essence, CryptoKitties is a game of breeding and collecting cats. Each cat comes with a unique Cattributes. When you breed two different cats, you get an egg (egg-laying cat!?). When you breed two cats, the progeny will have unique features (new eye shapes, for example) not found in their parents. Whenever you buy, breed, and create or cancel an auction, you need to pay a fee and set the Gas Price (Gwei). This is the same concept you would need to know when enjoying dApps running on the Ethereum platform. They kindly emphasize this concept for all new users.

Depending on what you have in mind, you can choose from Great-Value Cats, Fancy Cats, or Exclusive Cats. You must follow a specific breeding recipe if you want to breed a Fancy Cat, while you cannot breed Exclusive Cats as they are not obtainable through breeding.

As these Cats are non-fungible token items, rare Cryptokitties can be sold at a price as high as 600ETH. WOW!
